The property has experienced significant issues in recent years, with multiple housing maintenance complaints and violations emerging throughout 2023 and 2025. Most notably, there are open Class B violations from September 2023 regarding unit 1B's wall, floor, and window repairs, and Class A violations from July 2023 concerning unit 2A's water leak, painting requirements, and various maintenance issues including a shower head replacement and sink connection repair.

The building has also faced persistent water-related problems, with both heavy flow and slow leak complaints recorded in May 2025, though inspectors were unable to gain access to fully assess these issues.

The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure, particularly regarding water systems, electrical systems, and general maintenance in multiple units, with multiple violations issued that require correction by the property owner.
